| My ta eieghyn erbee ec peiagh erbee, my sailliu cur fys hym, ny gys Chalse y Guard. | If anyone has any ideas, if you please, let me or Charles Guard know. | |

| Yn kione-shiaghtin shoh chaie va daa ghooinney ayns Mannin voish Radio Chellveeish Erin. | Last weekend there were two men in the Isle of Man from Raidió Teilifís Éireann. | |

| Ta Donncha jannoo claare dagh laa quieg minnidyn lurg three ayns yn ’astyr, as ta ennym yn claare “Three On One”. | Donncha does a program every day, five past three in the afternoon, and the name of the program is “Three on One.” | |

| T’eh simmoil dy ’akin RTE chur aa-insheydeyryn gys yn ’eailley Vananan traa nagh row fer ry-akin voish Radio Vannin, ny’n B.B.C. | It is interesting to see RTE sending reporters to the Festival of Mannanan when no one was to be seen from Manx Radio, or the B.B.C. | |
| Myr ta fys eu, ta mee credjal dy lhisagh yn Erin as Mannin g’aase ny sniessey re-chielley as s’mie eh dy ’akin ny Yernee goaill simm ayndooin. | As you know, I believe that Ireland and the Isle of Man should grow together and it is good to see the Irish taking interest in us. | |
